WHat was the most famous or worst computer virus ever. If you can give me some info about it or at least where I may be able to find some information on it.
Answer
In 2004, MyDoom surpassed Sobig and Blaster as the fastest spreading virus of all time. I have not found any references to anything since MyDoom that spread as fast. Other prior top contenders include:
Sobig.F
W32.Blaster
Sasser
Code Red
Klez.H
Melissa/I Love You
MyDoom was developed to take down the website of SCO in response to their lawsuit against IBM and RedHat over Linux code. The virus successfully downed the SCO website for a significant period of time.
As for worst damage, damage would have to have some definition around it, but whether it actually caused data loss or not, any virus that takes down servers (especially mail servers) due to the rapid pace of replication causes damage in the sense of outage, even if no data is lost.

Answer
If you're not connected from the internet, they have absolutely no way of getting anything from your computer. If your wifi is off or your ethernet (internet) cable is unplugged, you're completely safe in that regard.
